I have a question regarding using Deans connectors on a Castle 160HV. Is it safe to use? I bought an align series connector as pictured and think it makes the set up look clean but can the deans connector handle the amps? Only reason I bought this is I seen that Alan Szabo uses it. Seems kind of hard soldering such bit gauge wires on a deans. Any info on a better setup would be appreciated, need to get this heli airborne.

Yeah was thinking of switching to EC5s since I have a bunch of them but I do have some CC 6.5s. Now that I got a nice soldering station it should be a breeze to solder them up. I'm new to the large electric machines so want to make sure I cover all bases.

Thanks

Never go Full Retard!

I ran Deans on my 160s for the first 4 years after I entered this area of the hobby, and never had any issue with them. If you get plenty of solder on the wire and plug they don't even get warm (at least with the type of flying I do).

I don't know about that series plug, though. I always made my own series wire setups, using 10 or 12 ga wire, and again made sure they were well soldered onto the Deans plugs.

For the last 3 years, I have started using (and changed everything over to) the EC5 plugs. Again, I never had any issues with the Deans, though.
